Why not wait to install the radon-resistant features until after the home is completed and a radon test is performed?
It is much easier and far less costly to prepare the sub-grade to improve the soil gas flow before the slab is cast. Also, the pipe for the radon-resistant system itself can be run more easily through the house before it is finished. This significantly improves aesthetics and can reduce subsequent system operating costs by planning to route the pipe through warm space to maximize passive operation of the system. The best way to determine the radon level in a home: Test the home for radon after occupancy.
